Building AI Expertise and Talent

According to a World Economic Forum report, 97 million new AI-related roles will emerge by 2025, while many current jobs will become obsolete without reskilling efforts.

Institutions must urgently invest in AI education to prepare both educators and students for this transformation. Without a skilled workforce, organizations risk falling behind in adopting AI technologies, limiting their ability to compete and innovate in a global market increasingly driven by AI advancements.

NSF is boosting AI research in academia with up to $500M in funding. Discover how this opportunity could shape the future of education and innovation.

Embracing AI Innovation in a Measured and Ethical Way

Everybody knows we must embrace AI innovations, but how do we do this the right way? As AI tools rapidly transform education, addressing the challenges surrounding their use has become paramount.

Studies show that nearly 25% of students have turned to AI tools like ChatGPT for “academic assistance”, making plagiarism increasingly hard to detect, with detection tools often generating false positives. To navigate this new landscape, institutions must adapt to implement AI in a responsible way that helps meet academic goals. Addressing key issues is critical as AI reshapes the way we teach and learn.

Building Trust and Transparency

Research shows that 70% of change initiatives fail due to employee resistance or lack of management support. In the context of education, AI is often met with skepticism, as faculty and staff worry about job displacement and the ethical implications of AI tools.

To overcome these barriers, it’s critical to build trust through transparency and clear communication. Institutions need to involve all stakeholders—educators, students, and administrators—early in the process, ensuring they understand that AI is here to enhance their work, not replace it, while strictly adhering to academic standards.
